My epson RX 680 Photo Stylus is lovely, but for the Rudy project I have some large size items (11x14) that need scanning. Anyone know a source or have access to a larger size scanner. FedexKinkos near me used to, but do not any longer.
Any thoughts?

A bit of extra lighting and a standard digital camera can often be used in place of a large format scanner.

Try searching your area for "Prepress Service Bureau." These are companies that do nothing but prepress work. However, this may be an expensive solution.

Thanks to you and Moonie. I've tried photographing and the quality is not at all what I'm looking for (read this as, snowflake is a lousy photographer).

However, I just found a place (thanks Kevy) a few blocks from my office $12 a pop which I feel is very reasonable. :D
